NEW YORK, December S.-The San to-

tue recommendations of the Presidents
message. 1t says there is very strong
protection feeling in some States which are
essential TO Democratic success next year.
The Presidents message it says, would
lead TO the impression that he tavors Mr..
Blaine's nomination by the Republicans.
The internal revenue taxes should he re-
duced instead OF the tariff.

THE Issue.

Mr.. Window said an issue had been
made BY the President in his message, and
the Republican party must act upon it.
The issue was that of protection or free
trade. The President bad adopted form

forgotten to acknowledge even what Divine
Providence had done for the country, and
mad rushed into the tariff as the issue be-
tween the two parties. He Window
was glad that the issue had been made

Arithmetic AS 1t Is Taught.

General Francis A. Walker made
very valuable contribution to the dis
cussion that is now going on concern
ing the public schools, studies, pupils,
ETC., in an address before the Boston
school committee last week. Arith-
metic was his theme. He urged the
Importance of simplifying and short
ening the course in this branch of
study. New studies have been intro
duced in these later days that afford
means for much of that training of the
child's powers which our fathers look
ed to arithmetic to accomplish. Gen.
Walkers belief is that but three and
One-hours each week should be devOt-
ed to the study instead of four and
one half, or almost exactly Onefifth of
the entire school time, as at present.
Compound interest, compound proper
ton, compound partnership, cube root
and its applications, equation of pay
ments, exchange, "similar surfaces"
and the mensuration of the trapezoid
and trapezium of the prism, pyramid,
cone and sphere, he proposed be drop
ped from the course in the grammar
school. If these subjects are to be
studied, it should be in the high
school.
Gen. Walker denounced as bad psy-
chology, bad physiology and bad ped
agogics the practice of giving to young
children examples more complex and
difficult than any operation that a
bank cashier would be called upon to
perform. He claimed that facility and
accuracy in ciphering have been large
ly sacrificed to the numerous technical
applications and difficult logical puZ-
zles which have been introduced into
the instruction in arithmetic, and that
our children leave the schools very i'll
prepared in this respect for the practi
cal work of life. These courageous ut
terances have been well received and
evidently touch point that teachers
themselves have felt to be weak. Ju-
diciOus reform in the public school
system is demanded and few are bet
ter qualified to criticise and expose de-
fects than General Walker.

Scratching Did 1t.


The revolt in Rhode Island against
Boss Brayt ton, the defaulting official
whom the republicans picked up last
year and gave an important office, was
of stable dimensions enough, as shown
by the election on Wednesday, to elect
a democrat governor of that state, IL
result which carries with it an impOr-
tant lesson. The republican candidate
is beaten by about 1000 votes. This,
however, does not mean that the state
has turned democrat. 1t is simply IL
revolt against the faction that has as
sumed to run the republican party in
Rhode Island. "Scratching" did it,
and if purer state of things results
when the party comes back into pow
er, it was a days work with common
dable features.

That there is a business boom
through the South is apparent, and the
best evidence of the extinction of all
old time bitterness between the sec
tiOns is that the Northern press daily
chronicles evidences of the revival with
the greatest satisfaction. When there
is prosperity at the South, the North
will have it's share also. At first there
was some shallow talk that the build
ing up of new iron industries in Ten
nessee and Alabama would, for in
stance, hurt Pennsylvania; but moth
ing of the kind has in the remOtest de-
gree come to pass, Pittsburgh, the Gen.
tire of the iron industries of the North,
has never had such season of pros
porous activity as it is now enjoying.
With it's gas and other natural advan
tages it will readily maintain and con-
stantly increase it's e-eminence among
the manufacturing points of the CONT
nent.

The Haddock Murder.

The farce that has been going on ut

George Z. Haddock, came to an end
Saturday in the disagreement of the
jury. 1t is rarely that SO much and
such positive evidence is brought
against a man, but the rum power was
too strong to be withstOOd. Mr.. Had
dock was assassinated because he was
too pronounced as temperance man.
The result of the trial was "a surprise
to no one. The jury stood III for ac-
quittal and one for conviction. When
the foreman went to Judge Lewis, be-
fore whom the case was tried, and
charged the dissenting juror (O'ConnelT)
with having been bought up by the
state, the judge replied that he cOnsid-
cred OCOnnell honest. Meanwhile
O'COnnell says he was asked to nam e
his price for joining the other jurors in
acquitting the prisoner and says plen-
ty of whisky was furnished the jury
during the trial.

of Wheeling, to IA point as far east as

Wheeling on account of the high hills
surrounding, but at ST. Clairsville and
Martins Ferry hundreds of houses were
destroyed or damaged, and many peo-
pie injured. The loss in these two
villages will be nearly half Il million.

damage in the country and it is safe to
say the aggregate loss will exceed ST.

Another View of Brain Work.
Boston Herald

If men like DIR. Hammond and many
another brain alarmist would cOnfine
themselves to emphasizing the unques-
tionable fact that there is a certain
proportion of boys and girls so feeble
of digestion, so low in blood circula
ton and so lacking in muscular tissue,
that their vital organs cannot keep
their brains in any state of vigOr, and
that, therefore, to force such children
to study, is cruelty or madness, some
practical good might be effected. But
to make this fact the occasion for such
indiscriminate assaults on the iniquity
of grammar for all, and the outright
diabOlism of geometry for girls, is
worse than a blunder-it is a crime.
The grand fault of the education of the
day is not that it is too rigorous. 1t is
too loose and slipshOd, and does not
put strain enough on such as have a
sound mind i'm a sound body. Parents,
in the exercise of a tenth part the
judgment they bring to bear on their
horses or their lapdOgs, ought to be
able to Judge for themselves whether
the school life is physically hurting
their children. If the children look
sallOw and bloOdless, have no appe-
tite for wholesome food, and toss un-
easily in their sleep-then, to subject
them further to the process, is a cruel
wrong. In such case, the first duty
and the first mercy is to build up their
bodies. But to worry ones self to
death lest Bills and Sallie's brains
should prove the ruin of them, while
they come leap-frogging over one
another out of school, eat rything
set before them, and sheep like rocks,
is certainly to run after needless worry.
